| Title |
The Origins of Montreal's Housing Traditions
|
| Abstract |
Tenements became Montreal's dominant dwelling type in the second half of the nineteenth century due to rapid urbanization and the introduction of new technologies, materials and ideas about domestic life. The author points out that this was due to a unique combination of older patterns, based on the French-Canadian tradition, and new elements introduced mainly by the city's English-speaking community. He argues that Montreal's tenements are an example of a cross-cultural exchange leading to an original urban cultural form in North America.
